Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the person making the statement can't explain it. How can we therefore conclude that no one else can?

He SR is talking about Sani Dasa in Vimshottari being unable to explain the time of the banishment of Ramachandra.

Is it at the very beginning or at the end or somewhere in between. The position would make a big difference because 1 pada of Punarvasu equals 1/4 of the Guru Mahadasha.
